What Is the Best Dessert for Kids at MyLahore
Choosing dessert when you’re dining out with kids can feel like a bit of a gamble. You want something they’ll actually eat, that won’t send them bouncing off the walls, and ideally something that doesn’t cost the earth if they decide after two bites that they’re done. At MyLahore, the dessert menu has plenty of options that work brilliantly for children, from familiar classics to fun sundaes and everything in between.
Whether you’re dealing with a fussy eater who only likes vanilla, a sweet toothed adventurer who wants to try everything, or you’re looking for something the whole table can share, there are solid choices that consistently go down well with younger diners. Here’s what works, what to look out for, and how to make sure everyone leaves the table happy.
The Clear Winner: Kids Ice Cream
If you want the safest, most reliable option on the menu, kids ice cream is it. One scoop, choice of six flavours, and priced for children. It’s straightforward, it’s portion controlled, and it gives kids agency to pick what they want without overwhelming them with too many choices.
The flavours are vanilla, strawberry, cookies and cream, chocolate, bubblegum, and Desi style kulfi. Most kids gravitate towards the first four because they’re familiar and comforting. Bubblegum is the wild card that tends to excite younger children, especially if they like bright colours and fun flavours. Kulfi is the option for kids who’ve grown up with South Asian desserts or who are curious about trying something a bit different.
One scoop is genuinely enough for most children under ten. It’s sweet, it’s satisfying, and it doesn’t leave them overfull or hyper. If you’ve got older kids or teenagers, they might want something more substantial, but for primary school age and younger, this hits the spot.
All the ice cream options are vegetarian, which covers most dietary needs. If your child has specific allergies, it’s worth checking with the team when you order, but the standard flavours are generally safe for most common restrictions.
Milkshakes: The Fun, Filling Option
Milkshakes at MyLahore are thick, creamy, and come in ten flavours plus additional chocolate brand inspired options. For kids, they’re a dessert and a drink rolled into one, which makes them especially appealing if your child didn’t finish their main or if you want something substantial that feels like a treat.
The most popular flavours with younger diners are bubblegum, strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Bubblegum is the standout. It’s bright pink, it’s sweet, and it’s got that novelty factor that makes kids feel like they’ve ordered something special. Strawberry is a close second, especially for children who like fruity flavours over chocolate.
Each milkshake is finished with whipped cream and a chocolate swirl, which adds to the visual appeal. Kids love the presentation, and it makes the whole experience feel more exciting than just ordering a regular drink.
Sharing or Solo?
Milkshakes are filling. One shake between two younger children works well if you’re conscious of sugar intake or if they’ve had a big meal. Alternatively, one shake can serve as dessert for one child aged eight and up. The thickness means they sip it slowly, which keeps them occupied and gives everyone else time to finish their own desserts.
If you’re ordering for the table, getting a couple of different flavours and letting the kids try each other’s is always popular. It turns dessert into a bit of an event, and they enjoy comparing which one they like best.
Old School Puddings: Comfort in a Bowl
The old school pudding section offers something reassuring for kids who like traditional British desserts. Chocolate sponge pudding, jam roly poly, jam coconut sponge, and cornflake tart all come with a choice of vanilla or chocolate custard, which makes them warm, comforting, and familiar.
Chocolate sponge pudding is the most popular with children. It’s soft, it’s sweet, and the chocolate custard option doubles down on the cocoa flavour that most kids enjoy. Jam roly poly appeals to children who prefer fruity flavours, and the sponge and jam combination is gentle enough for even quite fussy eaters.
Cornflake tart is nostalgic for parents and novel for kids. The crunch from the cornflakes adds texture, and the sweetness level is moderate compared to some of the richer chocolate desserts. It’s a good middle ground option if your child doesn’t like intensely sweet things but still wants pudding.
All of these are vegetarian and served warm, which makes them ideal for colder months or when you want something that feels like a proper pudding rather than something cold and sweet.
Sundaes: The Showstoppers
If you want to make dessert feel like an occasion, the sundaes deliver. Daddy Crunch, Oreo Cookie, Chocolate and Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Strawberry Delight are all layered, impressive, and designed to share.
Oreo Cookie is the one most kids request by name. Oreo biscuits layered with chocolate ice cream is a combination that works universally. It’s familiar, it’s indulgent, and it photographs well, which matters if you’ve got older children who like posting their food.
Strawberry Delight is the lighter option. Layers of strawberry and vanilla ice cream make it less heavy than the chocolate focused sundaes, and it’s ideal for children who prefer fruity flavours or who find chocolate too rich.
Daddy Crunch brings Ferrero Rocher vibes with hazelnut and chocolate layers. It’s more sophisticated than the other sundaes, so it tends to appeal to older kids and teenagers rather than very young children.
Chocolate and Vanilla Fudge Brownie is exactly what it sounds like. Brownies with chocolate and vanilla ice cream. It’s sweet, it’s rich, and it’s best shared between two or three people unless you’ve got a serious sweet tooth in the family.
Portion Guidance for Sundaes
Sundaes are generous. One sundae comfortably serves two children aged five to ten, or one older child or teenager. If you’re dining as a family, ordering one or two sundaes for the table and giving everyone a spoon works brilliantly. It encourages the blessing of eating together and means nobody feels too full or overwhelmed by their own massive portion.
Chocolate Fudge Brownie: Simple and Satisfying
If your child loves chocolate and you want something more than ice cream but less elaborate than a sundae, chocolate fudge brownie is the sweet spot. It’s served with strawberries and banana, plus a choice of cream or vanilla ice cream, and finished with Belgian chocolate ganache.
The brownies are rich and fudgy without being dry, and the fruit adds a bit of freshness that balances the chocolate. Kids generally ignore the fruit and focus on the brownie and ice cream, which is fine. At least it’s there if they want it.
This one is vegetarian and can be shared between two children if portions are a concern. Alternatively, it works as a solo dessert for older kids who want something substantial.
What About Dietary Needs?
All the desserts mentioned are vegetarian, which covers the majority of dietary requirements for families dining at MyLahore. If your child has specific allergies, the team are happy to talk through ingredients when you order. It’s worth checking if your child is allergic to nuts, dairy, or gluten, as many desserts contain these.
For vegan or dairy free options, the raspberry sorbet is the best choice. It’s refreshing, it’s fruity, and it’s a proper dessert rather than just a token alternative. If your child is lactose intolerant but not fully vegan, some ice cream flavours may have dairy free substitutes available. Ask when you visit.
Sugar conscious parents might prefer the kids ice cream or sharing a dessert rather than ordering individual portions of the richer options. One scoop of ice cream or half a sundae gives children the sweetness they want without going overboard.
Tips for Ordering Dessert with Kids
Here are a few practical pointers that make dessert run more smoothly when you’re dining with children:
Order early if you’re in a rush. Desserts are made fresh, so if you’re on a tight schedule, let the team know you’ll want dessert when you order mains. That way everything arrives without a long wait.
Ask for extra spoons. If you’re sharing, having enough spoons for everyone saves time and makes it easier for little hands to dig in without waiting their turn.
Let kids choose. Within reason, giving children the autonomy to pick their own dessert makes them more likely to eat it. If they’re torn between two options, suggest sharing or trying something new alongside a safe favourite.
Don’t force it. If they’re genuinely full, dessert can wait. MyLahore locations offer takeaway and delivery options, so you can always grab something sweet on the way out or order it later through Bradford delivery or similar services.
Why MyLahore Works for Family Dining
Dessert is just one part of what to expect when you dine at MyLahore, but it’s an important one. The menu is designed to suit everyone, from adventurous eaters to fussy toddlers, and the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming for families.
The team understand that dining out with kids can be unpredictable. They’re patient, they’re helpful, and they don’t make you feel rushed or judged if your child changes their mind three times or spills something. That kind of hospitality matters, and it’s part of why MyLahore has become one of the best restaurants in Bradford for families and beyond.
Whether you’re visiting Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, or Blackburn, the experience stays consistent. The desserts are the same, the service is warm, and the focus remains on making sure everyone, adults and children, leaves happy.
This is also part of why eating out is about more than just the food. It’s about creating moments where families can relax, enjoy each other’s company, and let someone else handle the cooking and cleaning. Dessert is often the highlight for children, and when it’s done well, it’s what they remember and ask to come back for.
For parents planning celebrations, By MyLahore offers catering services that bring the same quality and care to weddings, parties, and events. And if you’re shopping for treats to enjoy at home, Ranges by MyLahore provides ready to enjoy options that extend the MyLahore experience beyond the restaurant.
